Before delete shape
You can intercept the creation of any record in the store. This example intercepts arrow creation to make sure each arrow has a label. You can do the same thing to change the props of any newly created shape.
import { Editor, Tldraw, createShapeId } from 'tldraw'
import 'tldraw/tldraw.css'
export default function BeforeDeleteShapeExample() {
return (
<div className="tldraw__editor">
<Tldraw
onMount={(editor) => {
// register a handler to run before any shape is deleted:
editor.sideEffects.registerBeforeDeleteHandler('shape', (shape) => {
// if the shape is red, prevent the deletion:
if ('color' in shape.props && shape.props.color === 'red') {
return false
}
return
})
createDemoShapes(editor)
}}
/>
</div>
)
}
// create some shapes to demonstrate the side-effect we added
function createDemoShapes(editor: Editor) {
editor
.createShapes([
{
id: createShapeId(),
type: 'text',
props: {
text: "Red shapes can't be deleted",
color: 'red',
},
},
{
id: createShapeId(),
type: 'text',
y: 30,
props: {
text: 'but other shapes can',
color: 'black',
},
},
])
.zoomToFit({ animation: { duration: 0 } })
}
